Question: 1 / 400

What core body temperature indicates heat stroke?

Above 35 degrees Celsius

Above 37 degrees Celsius

Above 40 degrees Celsius

A body temperature above 40 degrees Celsius is indicative of heat stroke, which is a potentially life-threatening condition. This temperature is significantly higher than the average normal body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius. Option A is incorrect because that body temperature is actually below the normal range. Option D is incorrect because it is an extremely high temperature that most likely would not be compatible with life. Option B falls within the normal range and may not necessarily indicate heat stroke.
